Supplements to take with Retatrutide

Psyllium husk.

It's really important to support digestion as reta slows down gastric emptying.

Psyllium husk is great for keeping things moving. Plus it helps with bloating.

Reta brought on cramping. Something I rarely had before in any muscle. But now it starts in my thumbs first, very weird. Electrolytes are a must for me and do provide relief. I use Nutricost fruit punch electrolytes every day with fair results. But it takes pounding the potassium pills to provide complete relief for a few days.

I suspect it is the diuretic effect of Reta.

Thanks for sharing this info. I've had painful cramping on and off that I didn't think to associate with using reta. Will try those electrolytes!

If you get out in the su regularly, you do not need to suppliment vitamin d.

To be fair, depending on where you live there may not be enough natural sunlight to get you healthy levels of vitamin D. Pacific Northwest Region of NA in particular, Fall & Winter the worst obviously, angle of the sunlight and significant/consistent cloud cover means all the UVB that we need to hit our skin/eyes for synthesis of vitamin D is insufficient.

Daily, I take a men's 50+ multi (not anywhere near that age but due to enclomiphene I want extra endocrine supporting vitamins/minerals), vitamin D 10k i.u. in winter/fall & 4k i.u. spring/summer, omega-3, CoQ10, OptiNAD+ (this likely doesn't do much and I'll probably drop for real subQ NAD+ later).

As-needed for sleep or stress I also have on hand Magnesium Citrate/Threonate, L-Theanine, Liposomal Apigenin. I also will occasionally run a pre/probiotic for a while, or have periods where I consume fermented stuff on the regular, seems to work great for consistent gut health. Since starting this I haven't ever had any negative gut issues while taking first Tirz and now Reta.

I've run the gamut of taking dozens of supplements and have gone down so many rabbit holes on nutritional biology (shoutout 'examine' iykyk), but the stack I have right now is simple, effective, and easy to consistently take without any kind of pill fatigue.

edit almost forgot Creatine, 5g twice daily. Shit is a life-saver, honestly.

I am about to start on Reta but mine are very similar to yours:

Omega

NMN + TMG

Creatine

D3/K2 + Magnesium glycinate (before bed)

I also take Curcumin Phytosome by Thorne, Hyaluronic acid+ Vit C (for joints), Melatonin before sleep and Shilajit for all necessary minerals

Hair supplements, lots of hair loss with reta

Reta doesn’t cause hair loss but it does trigger hair shedding. Weight loss, calorie restriction, less protein and micronutrient intake, and the stress on your body from all that all contribute. So taking a glp on its own doesn’t cause hair loss.

Your right, I live in the pnw that you are referring to. I'm in the tacoma area of Washington state. Vitamin d is hard to get naturally in the pacific northwest, in the winter. It can be done naturally, I get enough naturally (I workout, outside in the morning, in the winter with my shirt off. ) Thank you for pointing this out, I was being far to generic.

Magnesium citrate? Or magnesium glycinate, For a sleep? The Citrate version before bed would make me poop the bed.

I 100% agree with pre and probiotics. I work at a sewage treatment plant. An regularly get gi issues from work exposure. I use mag Citrate to empty my gi track. Then fiber, prebiotic and probiotics to get it back on track.

Yup lol, citrate. For me I find that any GI issues are dose-dependent and I'm only ever taking 150mg which isn't a problem. Any stool softening from it might even be a benefit while taking GLP-1's, proactively addressing constipation issues, ja?

I'm one of the small group of people who has a paradoxical reaction to glycine, magnesium bis/glycinate both actually give me slight anxiety/restlessness/insomnia, as if I were crashing from too much coffee.

Just an aside, but I also like magnesium taurate. Having the taurine in there makes a noticeable difference in physical tension/tightness.
